Have had problems with my hip and lower back for the past 3 years. I teach a movement class called Nia in Tucson. Been through physical therapy, egoscue exercises, dry needling, acupncture, and massage with little or no relief.
I met Sam, the owner of Holistic Touch, while on vacation over Christmas. He is AMAZING.
He's from Indonesia and uses massage as his modality but what he does during the session is a MIRACLE. Sam is a guru/shaman in releasing fascia and stretching connective tissue. I went back to him every day of my vacation, that's how much relief I felt. He gave me tools to use when I go back to Tucson. I am now two months pain free in my hips. It is nothing short of a miracle.
Please check out SAM. I promise your body, aches and pains will love you. AND, it he can show you how to do it at home so it is longlasting. Sam, I love you!!!

I've never known that a massage could feel like this. I have more knots & bumps than a wash board.
The first visit here on Friday was a consultant to see if they could help me with the pain. My surgeon suggested I try this since the pain is still so Constant. The spasms are severe, enough to make me moan day & night even in my sleep. I'm tired of hearing it, as well as my Husband.
First massage was Monday. Did it hurt ? Yes, some of it did. BUT... Mostly, IT HURT GOOD. If that makes any sense to people who have never gone and had a professional massage before.
By Wednesday evening, if I had Sam's phone number, I would have called him up and beg for another massage. But with Christmas looming on us, I really wouldn't do that to Sam & Margaret.
So I will wait patiently :( for Monday to have my next appointment.

Let me start off by saying that Sam is a true holistic healer!!!
I was in the area for work and decided to get a massage before dinner. I usually get massages about 2-5x/month, mostly for pain I have been having in my upper back near shoulder blade and back of my neck. The pain came back for a visit and I looked to find a massage place. After reading the Yelp reviews, I tried this place out.
Thank goodness I found this place!!! I don't know how I will ever be able to find someone as good as Sam. I immediately felt a decrease in the pain after and the next morning was almost pain free! If I am ever back in the area, I am definitely going back here!!!
You will never, EVER find anyone that can heal you as good as this place!

TMJ Treatment at Holistic Touch
My name is Jame C.
I live in Rancho Mirage. I am 62 years old.
I had been having problems with my TMJ for a very long time until I called Holistic Touch and asked for treatment. I had to wear mouth guard at all time 24/7. The pain was very excruciating every time I tried to open my mouth either to talk or chew the food. My life was full of constant pain day in day out ( night & day ). I had gone to 2 different TMJ Specialists for countless visits to treat my TMJ problem but it did not stop my 24 hours spasms and made me very frustrated. One day I decided to look for other alternatives to treat my TMJ, and started searching on Internet through ask.com by using my cellular phone, and a lot of names came up, and including HOLISTIC TOUCH, Massage & Reflexology in Palm Desert,CA. The name Holistic Touch caught my attention and out of curiosity, I called to find out more information and made my appointment to give it a try. Holistic Touch provides a natural healing treatment. From the first visit alone I already felt much better due to the impact of the treatment, and of course, I came in with my mouth guard as always. During the treatment I could open my mouth wide and almost instantly I thought that for the first time of my life, I would be off of my mouth guard. 3 days later for the second treatment, I was really without wearing my mouth guard when came in and felt very relief. Sam was a very fantastic, knowledgable, trained TMJ practitioner, working diligently to solve my TMJ problem. I am glad to make a right choice to Call Holistic Touch, Massage & Reflexology, and Sam is the man that solved my long time problem. I strongly recommend you also to call Holistic Touch to solve your problems not only TMJ but Headache, Sciatica Nerve, Neck, Shoulder, Upper Back, Lower Back, Hips/Glutes, Gastrocs, etc or simply just for therapeutic, relaxation massage.
You will not be disappointed!!!! Only a call a way!!!!!

I knew what I wanted from a massage and found it at Holistic Touch with Noemi! I had been diagnosed as having rotator cuff issues and was experiencing significant pain and migraine headaches. After my initial appointment, I felt more relief than I thought possible. I scheduled my next appointment for one week later and Noemi suggested that we focus on my trapezoid muscles. After approximately six appointments, I still cannot believe the relief I now feel. I haven't felt this good in years.
I'd had two hot stone massages in the past and hated them because the stones were too hot to enjoy the massage. Then, I decided to try one with Noemi and 90 minutes later I knew it wouldn't be my last. It was very relaxing and pleasant. Plus, the results were great!
Noemi is an incredible massage therapist and knows just what your body needs. Unlike other massage therapists I've been to, she mixes it up each session. I love that! I've also had her perform reflexology on me with very positive results.
Holistic Touch works with your schedule, is reasonably priced, clean, and has a nice atmosphere. I can't imagine going to another massage therapist!
